J.R. Smith on Money, Lin and the New Season BY JOSH NEWMAN ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2012, 8:00PM MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. – J.R. Smith has never been one to be coy and not speak his mind with the media. JR- 史密斯从来不懂得什麽叫扭扭捏捏，在媒体面前他从来不会故作姿态、装腔作势，他 只会表达自己的真实想法。 The New Jersey native and former St. Benedict’s Prep star came home in February from a playing stint in China, played the final 35 games of the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season with the Knicks and thought he played well enough that he decided to test free agency by declining his 2012-13 player option worth $2.5 million. 今年2月份，在中国度过了一段充满坎坷的淘金之旅後，史密斯决定返回美国，他在赛季 中期加盟了尼克，同尼克签订了一份2年价值500万美元左右的合约，第二年史密斯拥有球 员选项，他可以选择跳出合约试水自由球员市场。 Smith has said publicly that he had more money offered to him, but in the end, liked being home and liked playing for the Knicks. He ultimately signed a two-year contract with the second year being a player option. He will make $2.8 million this coming season under the contract. 史密斯透露，当时他本已经收到了更丰厚的报价合约，但在家乡为尼克打球的诱惑让他选 择了同尼克签约。 “I think anything is a bargain with me, whether I’m playing for a dollar or $20 million it’s a bargain because I’m going to play hard no matter what,” Smith told SNY.tv. “No matter how much I get paid, it will never affect how hard I play and I think that should be thought about when people see me next year.” “我认为对我而言无论钱多还是少，这就是一份合约。无论我赚1美元还是2000万美元， 这就是一份合约罢了，无论多少我都会拼命打球。”在解释自己执行第二年合约的原因时 ，史密斯说道，“无论我能赚到多少，这都不会影响到我在球场上的努力程度，新赛季当 大家看到我在场上的表现时，我想大家应该会想到这些的。” The decision to not bring back Lin for the three years and $25 million given to him in Houston was viewed as a largely unpopular move. Knicks head coach Mike Woodson had said on the record Lin would definitely be back and he would be the starting point guard. Instead, the Knicks let Lin walk after he became a global phenomenon and helped save a season that was quickly going nowhere. The plot of what would happen to Lin was a national storyline until the Knicks officially declined on July 17. 今年夏天，上赛季在全联盟刮起一股“林来疯”的林书豪被火箭用一份“毒药合约”带离 纽约，他跟火箭签订了一份3年价值2510万美元的肥约。尼克本有机会匹配合同留下林书 豪，但他们选择了放弃匹配权。 “I was on the outside looking in waiting for my deal to get done during that whole thing and just see what pieces we would pick up instead of Jeremy Lin,” Smith said. “We got some good pieces. Jeremy is a good player, he was good to me and I have nothing bad to say about him. I wish him the best of luck, but we’re gonna kick their ass next year.” “那时我正忙於自己的合约情况，然後在看看我们会找些什麽拼图来代替林书豪。我们得 到了一些很好的球员，林书豪也是一位优秀的球员，对於我来说他很优秀，没什麽不好的 话可说。我祝他好运，但是我们明年要击败他们。” Instead of Lin, the Knicks are slated to go with a point guard trio of free agent acquisitions Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni, who is a 35-year old Argentinian rookie. Smith is slated to start at shooting guard while Iman Shumpert is out until at least December with a torn ACL and lateral meniscus and Ronnie Breweris on the mend for six weeks following knee surgery. Once everyone gets healthy, the roster as currently constructed is being viewed by most as an improvement over last season and one that figures to contend in the Eastern Conference. 今年夏天，尼克的引援秉承了“花小钱办大事”的原则，但收获颇丰，他们签下的肥顿、 基德、普利吉奥尼、坎比、小酒都是物超所值的球员，新赛季的尼克阵容深度厚实了不少 ，这令史密斯信心爆棚，他认为只要保持健康，尼克有望在东部杀入一条血路。 “Me and Melo have been on the same team for the last six years and ever since we’ve been together, I feel like we’ve had a championship-caliber team,” Smith said. “It’s just a matter going out there, passing the ball, playing defense and playing team basketball.” “我跟安东尼已经在同一支球队效力了有6年时间了，我认为我们已经拥有了一支总冠军 级别的球队，”史密斯说道，“剩下的就是站上球场去，无私的传球，打出强硬的防守， 打出团队篮球。” 原文：http://tinyurl.com/8jwfmkh 翻译：http://tinyurl.com/8cd88lv -- ─∥ ─── ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ψsherry821224 ────────────── ∥ ◤ ◥ ◤ ◥ ∥ ◤ ◢◤\ ◣◥ Teammates don't ∥ ╱ ∥◤￣◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥ ╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼▼ play with each ∥◆◇ ∥ ∥∥◣∥ ∥╱ ∥◣＿ ─-.╳ ︶- other, they play ∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥ ∥ ╲ ◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲▲ FOR each other. ─∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣＿╱∥ ╲╲＿◢∥ ◥ | ◢────────…‥． --
